Acute arterial insufficiency after revision hallux valgus surgery is a rare complication. The identification of surgical candidates who are at risk of vascular complications is of utmost importance. The patient-reported symptoms and physical findings combined with noninvasive vascular studies are generally reliable to assess the vascular status but can fail to identify patients with atypical disease patterns. We present the case of a patient with normal pulses who underwent revision hallux valgus surgery, leading to gangrene of the hallux that required transmetatarsal amputation. We reviewed the vascular evaluation methods and causes of acute ischemia after surgery, including vasculitis.

Department of Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery, Tallaght University Hospital, Dublin, Ireland.
First metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) fusion an effective surgical intervention for conditions such as hallux valgus and hallux rigidus. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to compare safety and efficacy of crossed screws versus plating supplemented with an interfragmentary screw. A literature search of the Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, and MEDLINE databases was performed to identify all studies directly comparing the two techniques.

Background: First tarsometatarsal (TMT) arthrodesis is one of the most common procedures performed each year for the correction of hallux valgus deformity, and nonunion rates for first TMT arthrodesis are commonly reported to be between 4% and 15%. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an intramedullary nail system in patients requiring first TMT arthrodesis.
Methods: An ambispective, multisurgeon, consecutive case series was conducted, in which retrospective and prospective collection of patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) and radiologic data were conducted.

Cheilectomy is a joint-sparing surgery for the treatment of moderate stages of Hallux Rigidus (HR). The purpose of this systematic review was to assess the clinical outcomes, range of motion (ROM), complications, and revision rates associated with cheilectomy. A literature search of the PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane databases was performed.

Many fixation options exist for correction of a hallux valgus deformity with a first tarsometatarsal joint arthrodesis with pros and cons to each. Few have looked at utilizing a shape memory alloy staple made from nitinol for fixation. This study evaluates the effectiveness of a modified Lapidus technique using a nitinol (shape memory alloy) staple combined with a two-screw construct for first tarsometatarsal joint arthrodesis in correcting hallux valgus deformity.

Background: Surgery is often needed for resistant plantar diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) of the big toe. For noninfected ulcers, 2 types of surgery are available: the Keller and the hallux interphalangeal joint arthroplasty (HIPJ-A) procedures. Yet, no evidence synthesis on the outcomes of these procedures has been conducted; thus, this systematic review is an attempt to fill this gap.
